COAL FIELD.
CAMERON. TEN, Feb. u, 1857.
To the Editor of the Gazette
Knowing your public spirit and the
usefulness of your paper, as well as the
great interest you take in encouraging
the extension of railroads throughout
Texas, please allow me to say that, while
l sm not citizen of your state, have
watched with lively interest the marvel
Gus movements made By the different
railroad companies to develop the won
derful resources Of the Lone Star State,
and well they may make strides in that
direction, for the future possibill-
ties CT your great "emplre within
the Union are lnCalcula0le
| have traversed over every part Of it
from Red river to the Rio Grande, as far
west as Colorado City. ard immensely and
grandeur strikes the traveller st every
step-the fertility Of the soil, the variety
and virtue of the grasses. why, there
are 300 kinds of grass in your state, sew
enty-three in one county, The vast
mineral resources, such as kaolin, gyp-
sum, iron, coal, copper, silver, etc, every
condition that the Giver of all
good could bestow has been lavished
in abundance upon her. 1t is the un!ver
sal saying of the farmer that he can
raise more than he can gather and save.
And from the appearance of the cotton
fields after the crop is picked, what he
says must be so.
Allow me to say in conclusion, that |
have been quite surprised that the great
railroad companies have not been striving
to see which might first get the route and
build through line from San Antonio
north through Kendall, Gillespie, Llano,
San Saba, Brown, Eastland and Stephens
counties, via Brentwood, Cisco, Brock
enridge and Crystal Falls, and on to Red
river. BY this route you pass through
endless fields Of coal, as well as the other
conditions mentioned in this letter, and
open up great highway not to be sur
passed in the western country.
